twig.js versus Twing benchmark

A comparison benchmark of the latest versions of twig.js and Twing.

The protocol

This benchmark is based on the Smarty versus TwigPHP benchmark by dominics:

• 3 blocks, with varying default content
• A single for loop, outputting elements of an array within one block

Usage

npm install

npm start
